HAHAHA Barack Obama Recieves a £10 congestion charge in London

This is just to funny charging the US government £10 congestion charge for Obamas motor cade when he visted London. Damm we must really be broke lol

The US government has been sent a London congestion charge bill for Barack Obama's convoy, including his limousine, nicknamed The Beast.

Mayor Boris Johnson said the motorcade was charged, unlike the Popemobile, because roads were not closed.

He and Mr Obama exchanged "points of view", he said, over £5.2m worth of unpaid congestion bills when they met.

The US Embassy said it was exempt from paying "direct taxes" but the mayor maintains the charge is not a tax.

Transport for London has confirmed that the Presidential convoy was charged but the bill has not been paid.

Mr Johnson said: "Unlike the Pope where we didn't charge the Popemobile because we closed the roads, when The Beast rolled through London that Beast paid a congestion charge
